Mean Mary

When I’m feelin’ fine I make the rounds
To show the world what I got
I forget You own my ups and downs
Ain’t got nothing but what You bought

It takes a storm to bring on my doubt
A grey cloud to darken my sky
But when I finally rock-bottom out
I bow to You and I cry

CHORUS

If I'm just no good when it's sunny
And the sky is blue and bright
If I'm no good when I have money
And people they treat me right
If I only get down on my knees to You
When I've been beaten down by my pain
If I only call on You when it's storming
Then bring down the rain

Seems I always run to You in need or terror
Guess those two beasts walk hand in glove
And You’re my every-hurt-and-trouble bearer
But just once I’d like to run to You in love

So pass through my life like gale
Thunder love down from Your sky
Whatever it takes, so I won’t fail
But don’t ever pass me by

CHORUS
